How to use "Thunder" in context?
1. thunder is one of nature's most frightening sounds. It can be so loud and intense, you can feel the ground shake. It's also one of the most beautiful sights in the sky.
2. Thunder is caused by the air pressure inside a storm getting so high that it can't expand any further. The pressure builds up until something breaks the barrier and the sound waves are released.
3. Thunder can be a warning sign of a more bad storm on the way. Listen for the rumble and listen for the sound of the rain and thunder.
